Greetings from the other side of the
world, Nagoya, Seto City! I am the
pastor of Seto Church, preparing the
children for First Communion, adults
for Baptism, and hearing Confessions.
As assistant Principal of St. Mary’s
Kindergarten, we have 240 children to
care for. I was very sorry to hear that
your mom passed away. May she rest
in Peace. Thank you for your letter
and spiritual information. Please pray
for our clergy. I send a photo on my
50th anniversary as a priest. Keep up the
good work. < Fr. Nicholas – JAPAN >
I planned a trip about 500 miles from
Suva, to reach distant Catholics who
live in remote villages. I was so grateful
for the box that came and your support.
I was able to enroll 300 new members.
The population of the village is over
800. I promised them, I would be back.
I have 6 to 8 more villages to visit. The
miracle of your help and generosity is
changing the lives of my people. Their
faith will be revived and hope will be
planted in their hearts. Yours faithfully,
< Inoke - FIJI ISLANDS >
Francisco has visited
Fr. Nino on his Living
Rosary mission. He
helps in translations
of our materials into
Portuguese. God bless
his efforts! < BRAZIL>
There are no words to express our
gratitude and love for all that you give
us. It seems you smell what is happening
at this time among us. Many people
are critically ill. When they saw the
cords of St. Philomena, they asked for
them. Within a few days, everything was
gone. The oils perform miracles. People
get better and are healed. The booklets
have gone to our young students. The
Scapulars are popular. We are going to
the homes and teaching the St. Michael
prayer to families. We enrolled many
Sisters and our young
postulants are happy to
pray their Decades.
With the promise of
our prayers,
< Sr. Irene

Thank you for your nice religious
pamphlets and holy cards. There is a
gasoline shortage and so our mailman
now comes by bicycle. Our electricity
is off during nearly all daylight hours
and comes on about eight hours at
night time. Inflation is now at 25% and
rising. Bread is often not available in
the stores, and people sometimes wait
two days in line to buy petroleum. Let
us pray that the Triumph will come
soon. May God reward you and your
helpers for all the good you do around
the world! < Father Kimball

This is to notify you that I received
the parcel you sent me. Honestly, I
cannot thank you enough for the prayer
books, pamphlets and Sacramentals.
May Heaven be your reward and may
the Mother of God protect you under
her mantle, always! I have given many
of the items to the prisoners and,
through them, many conversions have
taken place within the prison. Please
pray for our country and the whole
world. < Sr. Emmanuel Maris
